GRAPHICS OVERLAYING THE VIDEO

The DCT* can generate graphics that overlay the video programming or fill the entire television screen. Common examples include on-screen menus (such as the User Setting menu), closed captions, and interactive program guides. The DCT* overlays these graphics whenever you open a menu, enables closed captions, or scrolls through a program grid.

Overlaying graphics are not available on all DCT* video output and mode combinations. The following table summarizes the availability of overlaying graphics for each DCT* video output combination:

The 4:3 Override feature enables you to specify a different Output Mode for high-definition (DVI or YPbPr) programming and standard-definition (4:3) programming. If the 4:3 Override is set to 480i and the subscriber tunes to a 4:3 standard channel, the DCT* displays graphics overlays on all outputs even if the DVI or YPbPr Output Mode is 1080i, 720p, or 480p.
